Jonny Lee Miller

“It's very strange to become a character: the lines get blurred, and you start to sort of, I don't know, take it home too much?”

“It takes a lot to shock me.”

“I believe in Danny Boyle. I really do. I know that he's not going to pull the trigger on something if it's not right.”

“I am constantly disappointing people up in Scotland by not being Scottish!”

“As far as 'Trainspotting' changing my life, I think I've said before I probably squandered a few opportunities. But I'm fine with that because everything's fine.”

“I'd go anywhere to work, so long as it's worth it.”

“I don't want to talk about the specifics of other people's performances compared with my own. I'd never do that.”

“Being part of 'Natural Nylon' is a great way to have an influence on the films that get out there. I love films and it gives me an input.”

“I consider myself really lucky and I always have done. My approach is that if I know I'm relaxed and happy, then I will do my best work.”

“For me, the most satisfying time to work with people, and time when it really works, is when you work with directors that are into the truth of any sort of situation.”

“I think so many men have this really sharp feeling of being a disappointment in their mid-forties. There's probably something chemical about it - the drop of testosterone, the fact that you don't feel the same way physically. It's a real thing. You do tend to feel like a disappointment.”

“Theater is just so much more satisfying than film or television just because you deliver the whole thing from start to finish in one evening, and you can tell if people have enjoyed it or not. That's great to do every night to go in front of a full room of people and tell the story. There's nothing like that really.”

“I've never taken myself too seriously, I'm not into that.”

“Vampires are immortal, you can do whatever you want, and get away with it. And there's the seduction part of course, sex is a big part of the vampire thing.”

“There is nothing, not a thing, like the process of creating a character for the stage - you can't get it anywhere else. Unless you're totally method and spend six months living your life like your character for a film, the theater is the place to get that intense acting experience.”

“I've always been, since I was a little kid, and my son is quite observant, too.”

“I made some really bad decisions, and I turned a lot of work down and kind of got lost in life.”

“I've done a few marathons. I've done a 50-mile one and even a 100-mile one.”

“I'm not really the cool dude at all.”

“Some people can handle fame, some can't.”
